Planning Appetizers for Your Event
Finger foods and starters perfect for mingling and pre-dinner snacking. Whether you're hosting a small gathering or a large event, getting the right amount of appetizers is crucial for a successful party.
How Much Appetizers Per Person?
For appetizers before a meal, plan 5-6 pieces per person. For appetizer-only events (like cocktail parties), increase to 12-15 pieces per person over 2-3 hours.
Mix and Match Appetizers
Variety is key to a successful party menu. Consider combining different appetizers to appeal to various tastes and dietary needs. Our calculators automatically adjust portions when you indicate you're serving multiple items.
